As for upgrading to 7 I dunno. I'm getting a kick out of spending nothing on my home pc. It's been a long time coming. But if losing cable tv and switching to something like hulu starts to look promising then I would think 7 coupled with the right hardware would be worth considering.

Hackers are looking to create as much havoc as they can so it makes sense that they go after the largest user base. There isn't a consumer OS in existence that can't be hacked or afflicted with a virus. The fact that Mac's and Linux/Unix don't get hit so much is just a numbers game.
There's a rumor that Hulu will begin charging for content. If so, they'll lose all their users in one fell swoop.
My version of 7 is on it's way but I'll still keep an XP version running for some games that run best on XP.
